To all whom z't may concern.'

Be it known that I, WILLIAM FAERBER, a resident ofv Chicago, in Cookcounty, State of Illinois, have invented certain new/and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Shampoolng Ladies the-following descriptionof my said invention, t-aken 1n connection with the accompanying sheetof drawings, forms afull, clear, and exact specification, which lwillenable others skilled in the art to which said same.

4This invention has general reference Ato improvements inl an apparatusfor use in establishments for shampooing and washlng ladies hair n situ;and it consists, essentially, in the novel and peculiar combination ofparts and details of" construction, as hereinafter first fully set forthand described, and then pointed out in the claim. c In the drawingsalready mentioned, in which this invention is fully and clearlyillustrated, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the complete apparatus.Fig. 2 is a plan of the same, like parts being designated by the samecharacters and symbols of reference in both figures.

The object of this invention is the production of an eiiicient,serviceable and very convenient apparatus which is especially designedfor use in ladies hair dressing establishments for washing andshampooing ladies hair.

This invention, therefore, includes a portable or movable couch or othersimilar furniture A, upon which a'lady may take a reclini'n position,said couch being so placed that t e ladys head may rest upon a cushion,lhereinafter to rbe particularly described.

B, designates, as a whole, a cabinet which is open at its forward end,said cabinet including a wall-section C, and two wings, or sections D,Da, `hinged to the wall section in any convenient manner. These twowings are framed structures one side of which is provided with a mirror12, while at the rear thereof there are provided a series of shelves 13,supported in a substantial manner on brackets 14, said shelves beingconstructed brushes, and other paraphernalia may soap, combs,

be within easy reach of the n be placed to I-Iair;y and I do herebydeclare that h perator .when performing his or her task attending to theladys hair. In front of O the wall section C there is located 'a basinE,

said basin having a long, sloping, forward wall 15, on which the ladys.hair may be spread when being operatedon, said basin avmg a waste pipe16, by. which water is discharged from said basin. At the upper' end ofthe wall section C there is a for` wardly extending canopy F, to which athree-way faucet 17, is attached, there being a hot, and a cold, waterpipe,.18, 19, re'

faucet, whereby spectively, connected to this either hot, tempered, orcold water maybe drawn from said faucet, as occasion may requlre. In theforward margln or 11p of p the basln there 1s an exclslon or cut-out 20,

vand in this cutout there is aixed a, preferably rubber, cushion whichcushion may be of the pneumatic type so as to be absolutely sanitary.'Upon this cushion a lady v will rest `her head so that her` tresses maybe spread upon the long, sloping, front portion of said basin, wherethey will be operated on by an attendant, and nally rinsed by waterpassing from the three-way faucet 17 through a suitablehose 21, and arose-nozzle or sprinkler 22, connected to said faucet.

During the time that water is being used on the ladyvs hair the two sidewings or hinged sections D, Da, are so located as to occupy a positionat the sides of the basin E2, which prevents water from being splashedover the Hoor on which this apparatus is mounted, while when the wingsare swung to Athe position vshown in Fig. 2, the shelves at the `back ofthe wings and the articles thereon, are hidden from view.

I 'prefer to cover the forward surface or face of the wallsection C.with sheet metal facing 23, the body of said wall section being usuallyof wood, which will make this apparatus perfectly sanitary; and in orderto enhance the appearance thereof, I may employ highly polished andnickel, or sil.- ver-plated sheet metal for this facing 23. I may also,if desired, surround the pedestal 24, of thebaspin E with a sheet metaljacket 25, of the same facing of the wall. section.

An apparatus of the construction described 1s ver complete, compact, andwell adapted for t e purpose for which it is'designed.

Having thus fully described this' invenquality of sheet metal as the'105- tion, I cl Letters Paten An apparatus for prising, 1n combination,wings h tion at the forward margin thereof, a basin in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
